I would go with nitto because they have a longer tread life then the others.
+1 Nitto DRs also do well in the rain.

I also heard sticky tires and stock axles= no good. Is that true? Or is that for like full slicks
This is true, but some people have better luck than others. DRs can break axles if you arent careful. If you heat them up, as long as you feather the clutch gently you should be okay, for a while at least.

mt et street radials seem to be the best out there, i have a set on hold right now, pick them up in about 2 weeks.

but for you ill suggest nittos, there still good tires and last a lil longer then the MTs do.

and whereever you heard to stay away from BFG, ive never heard a bad thing about them, they hook better then the nittos, and last longer then the MTs(all from what ive heard, no 1st hand exp.)

so stickyness
M/T
BFG
nitto

lasting

A lot of people on my local stang forum run DR's on their DD's. I've heard several complain about the Nitto 555's, IIRC. Traction wasn't what they thought it should have been.

I have the BFG's on my Daily ride. They have last a whole 2 weeks. However I have ran about 10 races with a burnout before each race. That is what killed them very quickly. Pretty sticky on 26 degree asphalt.........
